# Building documentation
## Specifying Files
To specify the source files for which to build documentation, modify `INPUT`
and its related fields in `docs/source.dox`. Note that the `INPUT` paths are
relative to the `docs/` directory.
## Install Dependencies
### Windows
Install these dependencies:
1. Install [Doxygen](http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html)
### MacOS
1. Install doxygen:
* Use homebrew to install: `brew install doxygen`. The executable will be
installed in `/usr/local/bin` which is already in your path.
* Alternatively, install from here: [doxygen](http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html).
You'll then need to make doxygen available to your command line. You can
do this by adding a symbolic link from `/usr/local/bin` to the doxygen
executable. For example, `$ ln -s /Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen /usr/local/bin/doxygen`
### Linux
1. Install doxygen using your package manager OR from source using the links above.
### [Optional] Install Plantuml (all platforms)
Doxygen supports the optional use of [plantuml](http://plantuml.com) to
generate diagrams from `@startuml` sections. We don't currently rely on this
functionality for docs, so it's largely optional. Requirements:
1. Download/install a functioning java runtime, if you don't already have one.
2. Download [plantuml](http://plantuml.com) from
[here](http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml.jar/download).
Set a system environment variable named `PLANTUML_JAR` with a value of the fullpath
to the file system location of the `plantuml.jar` file you downloaded.
## Do it
### all platforms
From the rippled root folder:
```
cd docs
mkdir -p html_doc
doxygen source.dox
```
The output will be in `docs/html_doc`.
## Docker
(applicable to all platforms)
Instead of installing the doxygen tools locally, you can use the provided `Dockerfile` to create
an ubuntu based image for running the tools:
1. Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)
2. Build Docker image. From the rippled root folder:
```
sudo docker build -t rippled-docs docs/
```
Then to run the image, from the rippled root folder:
```
sudo docker run -v $PWD:/opt/rippled --rm rippled-docs
```
The output will be in `docs/html_doc`.
